Hey, There is a gorgeous alternate American Avocet in the main cell of the Forest Lagoons, along with a great assortment of other shorebirds and marsh birds. This bird was found in the AM (finder?) but I didn't know of it so it was still a sweet surprise.
Other notables included 2 Short-billed Dowitcher, one adult Stilt Sandpiper, Common Gallinule with fledged young, Sora, Marsh Wren and two Upland Sandpiper fly-overs. A very nice assemblage and, now that I'm living near Port Franks, conveniently close! I accessed the lagoons off of Brush Road - Google Maps shows it as 7550 Brush Road.
